Re: Exchange vs Groupwise

My company is moving from GroupWise to Exchange.  GroupWise system is more secure than Exchange unfortunately market 
share is not in GroupWise favor.

The choice whjen it comes to clients again leans toward Outlook its a more familiar interface to many people.  
Ultimately you need to consider the cost of training and support if you switch clients.

One thing you might want to consider is that you can use Outlook client to front-end a GroupWise server backend or the 
new 7 GroupWise client to fornt-end Exchange.

I would also consider the long term prospects of Novell given its recent agreement with Microsoft.

Hi everyone,

I hope this topic is in the correct forum.

I am working on an assessment of a proposed change in email systems.

Moving from Groupwise 6.5 and 7 over to Exchange 2003 or better.

Most of the exchange vs groupwise numbers that I am finding are a bit
outdated or not from a neutral source(is there is one).

I am looking for current number on MarketShare.

Also, forever I have heard that Groupwise is more secure that Exchange.

My feeling is that the Groupwise 'client' is a better choice that
Outlook Express, but

I am focusing on Groupwise Client verses Outlook.

Things like encryption level, if any between client and server.

I have looked at the CVE database and I am aware of the reported
vulnerabilities.
The CVE shows a reduction in Exchange problems over the recent years.

I am not interested in pushing for one product over the other but,
just the facts.

I fell certain that someone on this list has done something similar in the past.

I am just looking for direction.  Thanks!
